While Jefferson-Craig Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (94.42%) compared to the surrounding schools, it faces several challenges. The school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (26.3%) compared to the state average and the surrounding schools, which range from 12.2% to 39.4%. Additionally, Jefferson-Craig's test scores are generally lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (29.41%) and Math (36.86%) for all grades were lower than the Switzerland County School Corporation's scores (35.39% and 37.25%, respectively).

Interestingly, while Jefferson-Craig Elementary School is part of the same district as Switzerland County Elementary School, the two schools have notable differences in performance. Switzerland County Elementary School outperforms Jefferson-Craig in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates across all grade levels. Additionally, Jefferson-Craig Elementary School's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 631 out of 1,031 Indiana elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 645 out of 1,010 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. These factors, along with the school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (57.77%), may contribute to the school's lower academic performance.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
